A great hidden gem in Raleigh, we were greatest with a smile when we first walked in and then quickly seated. The server was prompt and very friendly. She took great care of us through the entire mean always making sure to keep drink glasses full and helping me choose between two of the menu items. We started our meal with a chicken Satay and the curry peanut sauce was well balanced between it’s sweetness and curry flavors. For my entree I ended up going with the General Mao’s chicken and my fiance got the Beef and Black bean. The food was delivered to our table quickly, it was fresh and hot. The flavor profile was well balanced with a subtle but complex array of flavors that felt full on the tongue. I had tried their blood orange Sunrise drink, pear sake, oj, and a splash of cherry juice I highly recommend it. We both finished our plates, the server thanked us again before leaving. The prices are reasonable in my opinion, for the two of us to eat only cost 50.00 before tip. If you have a free evening you should stop in and grab a bite to eat I promise you will not be disappointed!

It’s fine food. But not authentic at all. I’m from Hunan and I ordered a Human beef today. It has nothing to do with the beef from my hometown. It should be spicy but turned out sweet. Very disappointing but it could be just me. Maybe you will like it!

This place was great, the staff was super friendly and attentive, we went about an hour to close and were out before closing time and weren’t rushed at all. The portions are very large and the prices are reasonable for the serving sizes. I think i paid $60 for both of us after tip. And we both had enough for leftovers.

Our server, Wing, was a delight and took great care of us while the staff was short handed.

$16 with tip. The flavor was okay, better than other restaurants in the area but a little watery, probably would have been better if I came in person. Just in shock at the serving size to price ratio for the okay quality of food.

Wow!!! We were in the area and had to stop somewhere for lunch and stumbled upon David’s. It was incredible!!! The service was great, our waitress was so sweet, the food came out really quick and it was delicious. We loved it as well as our kids. Really affordable prices for lunch. We’ll be back! Our favorites were the Hot & Sour Soup, pan fried dumplings, and sesame chicken!

Service was great . Atmosphere was great. I ordered a spicy chicken dish. It wasn’t spicy. My friend who can’t eat spicy tried it and said it wasn’t spicy at all. He ordered 2 different dumplings. One he wasn’t as pleased with as the other. But I would come again. The kitchen is very easy to please when it comes to your dishes. They substitute or 86 items you do or do not want.

Amazing and authentic Asian food!!!! Everything was on point here compared to others. From Malaysian Chicken Curry with Indian Roti to just salt and pepper wings I was completely satisfied. Definitely somewhere you should check out.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch with our oldest son. Service was prompt and courteous. Food was excellent. My son and his wife come here often and I can definitely see why.
